andwhich pan will beheld against displacement frointhe stove when the latter is lifted or'moved from one place'to another. I

The invention is particularly#u seful in connection with light-weight stoves, such. as portable'heating stoves, to prevent the drop-' ping Orion or charred wick particles upon rugs,vcarpets or the floor duringlthe filling.

or-wick-cleaning or trimming operations.

The main objectgof the invention is to provide: an improved base-pan of sheetmetal and of a circular shapeso that the structure willbe free ofangular corners; which pan will be of a greater diameter than the body of the stove whereby to pro vide a complete protection on the floor. in

that there will be no overhanging portion of the stove body in a vertical plane beyond the outer rim-edge of the pan as there would be in the case of a rectangular pan, and to provide improved means for engaging the legs of the stove to secure the pan and stove-legs together. 1

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein, Y Fig. 1 shows an oilstove seated upon and engaging the improved pan.

Fig. 2 illustrates the pan in top view.- Fig. 3 shows the pan incross-sectional detail and on an enlarged scale with a leg of the stoveengaging the pan,the section being taken on the'line 3 3 of Fig. 2, and Fig. 4: shows another sectional detail through the pan and viewing the legof the stove on the line 4-t of Fig. 3.

In the drawing, the numeral 6 designates the bottom of the base-pan having an upstanding annular vertical flange 7, which latter extends all the way around the pan bottom to produce a shallow pan receptacle.

The annular up standing vertical flange 7 is rolled or curled outwardly at 8 to reinforce and finish the upper edge of the flange.

The pans are designed to fit the feet of an oil stove which is to be placed thereon and with this in view, the diameter of the pan between the inner sides of the up-standing annular vertical flange 7 is slightly less than the normal distance between the lower ends stove 13. t. r I the topsurfaceof'thepanbottom 6, and immediately-at the inner "side of the een ran 'ron ron'rnretn oIL s'rovns 1936. "serial 6,1 5,347.

of diagonal stove-feet 9 and 10 of the annul-arvertical flange 7, I provide, in this instance four clip plates,14t,*one

, v I for eachf foot 9, 10, 11 and 12 of theoil stove. 1'

Each clip-plate 14 hastwo'flatbase ears 15;"two vertical side walls 16 and an in clined wall 17 7 whose lower edgef18 is slightly spaced or elevated with respect to the under; or seating surfaces of'-.-the-base-' ears.

' These clip-plates are pl'aced t-hebottom of the pan iinmediatelyat"the inner; side of the annular vertical flange Tand the two base-ears 15, are permanently secured to the pan-bottom preferably by spot welding,

so that the clip-plates are rigidly secured place on the bottom of the pan.

lVhen the clip-plates are "in place, lower edge 18 ofeach clip-wall 17 i will be slightly elevated. from the bottom 6 of the pan and will be slightly spaced from the bend or angle'formed at the junction be tween the pan bottom '6 and the annular vertical flange 7 as can be seen in Figs. 2,3 and 4 of the drawings.

, the 7 The spacing therefore of the edge :18 ofv the clip wall from the pan-bottom produces a slot 19 beneath said edge 18 for a purpose that will be explained. 7

' The stove feet 9,10, 11 and 1201f these portable oil stoves are'usualy formed of a heavy sheet-metal and are therefore capable a i of being readily sprung.

The feet extend downwardly and outwardly from the ring-plate 20,-t-o' which they are attached so that. the distance from the lower end of one foot, such as foot 9 to the lower end of the dianietrically opposite foot 10, is

greater than't-he diameter of the ring 20.

This fact makes it important that the pan distance betwen diametrically-opposed feet because it is important that there be noportion of the stove body orring QOthatwill overhang or projectbeyond the flange '("of be of a diameter substantially equalto the the pan, for if such a condition prevailed, Oll might drop froni'such overhanging portion onto a rug or floor i'nstead of into'the pan itself and the very purpose of the pan would be defeated. 1

' Would thus overhang or projectbeyond that infFig-Q 'of the drawing, and the ring 20 straight Wall. v s 'It is therefore important to the present invention that the pan be circular and of a diameterithat will receive the lower ends of inward slightly.

By placing the :feetunder the lower edges the stove feet-only when those feet are sprung 18 of the clip-plates 14 and inth'e slots 19, which may be done by springing the feet in- Wardly, the lower edges of the feet Will project beneath the said edges18 at a plurality of points but Within the circular flange 7,

and the pan and feet will thus be secured together. V

vWhenthe pan is thus attached to the feet,

no vportion of the stove will overhang or project over the annular flange 7 and anything that might drop or drip from any part of 3 the stove willbe caught in the pan.
